| Mental Health Gravel Ride Day | 2024-07-12T15:38:46.616969Z | 2024-07-12T15:38:46.616969Z |
I followed Lou's lead and took a mental health day today. I have some stuff I need to tend to around the house, and I just didn't feel like doing work as well.
I got up at my usual time for a morning ride, but I stayed out later since I didn't have to rush back to shower and head into the office. I covered my typical route and then explored the gravel trail along the river.
It was a nice journey through the shaded woods alongside the river, and the front suspension fork of my new bicycle made for a comfortable ride. Being able to lock the suspension for stability on the road and then unlock it for shock absorption on the trail is really nice.
The path also traveled alongside the nearby military installation, so that's something.
All told, I rode just shy of 20 miles in about 1.5 hours, with a few stops for pictures and some deliberately slow sections to lower my heart rate a bit. It was a really nice way to start my rare mental health day!
